A debut that’s more than capable of blowing life into a seemingly complacent guitar music world, INHEAVEN's self-titled entrance to the world doesn’t waste a single beat.
The jangled drum intro of “Baby’s Alright” feels familiarly close to ‘90s Britpop revelations, while follow-up “Treats” has a similar attitude with guitars that completely enthrall and engage the part of you that refuses to take anything sitting down.
Even the vocals throughout are consistently filled with a disengaged attitude that both Chloe Little and James Taylor manage to equally snarl.
A complete throwback to everything that’s been missing for over twenty years, INHEAVEN have blown the cobwebs off and are ready to kick some life back into a stale scene.
